Re: SAVRSTxxx and STRPASTHR

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

You don't need distribution services since there is no SNA to 
configure.  EE is included with the TCP/IP utilities and object 
connect.   We are only discussing SAVRSTxxx and STRPASTHR, not all the 
other SNA components. If you need them do it, it's still simple!

You may need the directory entries but most folks have those anyway and 
if not a reasonably simple CL program can add them for you.
